2018 Triumph Speedmaster Review: I'm not a huge fan of cruisers, or at least I didn't think I was having only ever previously ridden the original Triumph Bobber. The new Speedmaster is a close relative of the Bobber but feels like a completely different animal to ride...to the degree that I now count myself as a "cruiser guy"!

Just wanted to say thank you for the introduction to the new speedmaster, just ordered one this morning. I’ve probably watched every vlog about the speedmaster on you tube now but your review was the one that sparked my interest. Thanks again TMF, love your work

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Congrats and enjoy!

@gdfggggg 3 года назад

Did you enjoy it?

@ohcrikey9560 4 года назад

I took one out for a test ride. Came back with a smile on my face feeling like i'd ridden a proper motorcycle! What a blast!

@camerongeater5404 6 лет назад

I'm in the same camp, I don't generally look at cruisers, but this bike is a stunner! Even just the name, "Speedmaster" is cool! I think it would look very cool to remove the pillion seat and grab rail, and just leave the rear fender bare. Although I guess I'm too young to appreciate whitewall tires.

@joeguzman3558 6 лет назад

i just got divorced after 35 years ,i end up whit only 25k (i got the very shot end of the stick)i got me that bike and a new schott 118 motocycle jacket and a pair of cordovan McNeils Allen edmonds ,(oh and leather gloves )at 57 im too old to start all over but im free .

What a great looking bike. Every time I watch a TMF review I want to buy something new for the garage! Thanks for another unbiased and comprehensive review. Keep up the great work sir.

@infernalcontraptions 6 лет назад

Interesting comment about the nods. Just got back from France, where everyone (and I mean everybody) either waves one hand or sticks their foot out - most pleasing... Thanks Mr Flyer - Great vid as always!

@mageeswifts9619 3 года назад

In Australia - I find weekend riders are more friendly - during the week it's often commuters who don't really pay attention to other riders or they are way to busy getting to work.

@fishbustin7926 6 лет назад

Well Mr Flyer, I took possession of my spanking new Triumph Speedmaster today. Cranberry red version. I can’t tell you enough how beautiful it is and how great it preforms. I just love it! Trust me Mr Flyer, you need one. :)

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Congratulations!

@davidmitchell7714 2 года назад

Just about to pull the trigger on one of these… brand new, but the previous model. Thanks for the reviews… I’ve watched and rewatched so many, but always come back to you Andy for your open, transparent and honest reviews.

@mrbojangles4394 6 лет назад

Now this surprised me. Didn't think you'd like it. Perhaps you should take up that offer of a ride on my Thunderbird Storm! Great review.

@MarkSmith-io3qd 6 лет назад

I went along to my local Triumph Dealers open day last month and there was a great unveiling for the Speedmaster. Given the number of people who were admiring it, it’s going to be a sure fire hit for Triumph. I’ll be getting my NHS pension in a few years, so I’ll definitely be adding one of these along with my Explorer. Makes one proud to be British 🇬🇧😎.

@MuditBadlani 6 лет назад

Enjoyed this even more than usual - the countryside's colours had a special sheen to them. Lovely!

@stevesargant5041 6 лет назад

Yet another great review, really enjoy your work. Keep it up & thank you.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Will do and thanks!

@tommyrobinson8316 6 лет назад

I was impressed with a T120 Bonneville on my dealer's floor equipped with what appeared to be nearly every Triumph accessory. Wouldn't trade my Trophy or Sprint for it but maybe a great starter bike for someone. Keep up your good works!

@karenallen5208 11 месяцев назад

I have this bike, exactly. I'm so pleased with it. I've been riding mine for four years and dearly love it. Thank you for this wonderful review of my bike.

@TheMissendenFlyer 11 месяцев назад

What this is your actual bike??

@karenallen5208 11 месяцев назад

@@TheMissendenFlyer I should clarify. This is exactly like my bike.

@TheMissendenFlyer 11 месяцев назад

Aha OK

@PipeOPhile 6 лет назад

That's one good looking bike! Great review as always. To me, from reviews, bobber seems to be more.. sporty. But I would probably go for a Speedmaster as well. That fuel tank looks just exquisite. Cheers!

@jaminic16 6 лет назад

I know what you mean about the nodding I can't help saying wan..r to my self when a rider just rides by. Another great review by the way

@keithshwalbe6981 6 лет назад

A wonderfully insightful early review as per usual. Thank you.

@paulkinsella6172 5 лет назад

Late to the party, as ever! Had my heart set on a bobber black so organized a test ride. I got to my local Triumph dealer and saw the speedy in the flesh. I rode both back to back and was disappointed with the bobber, just not right for me. The speedy on the other hand, was a revelation. Never ridden a cruiser type before but it felt perfect from the start. My hands just fell in to place on the bars, and I quickly got the hang of the foot peg location. Fell totally in love. Long story short, having watched your reviews and many others, she has been ordered and arrives next week. Had the heated grips and a couple of other bits added. £150 for the grips I thought was good value. Cant wait for her to turn up now, like a kid at Christmas! Thanks for the reviews.

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Congratulations Paul - exciting times waiting for a new bike eh?

@BarnsleyBob 6 лет назад

I rode one of these a while back. Loved the engine, handling & looks. Hated the seat/riding position. I ended up with excruciating pain through my coccyx before the end of the test ride so it's interesting to hear your review TMF. I'm 6'1" so the bike felt quite small; I didn't have any comfort issues on the big T-Bird or even the old Speedmaster, so maybe this new one just doesn't 'fit' me... Another great vid anyway, all the best!

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Thanks Bob!

@jowyong6769 4 года назад

My favourite motorcycle format and preferred riding position! As a natural born easy rider, I just love the level of comfort, style, character and riding pleasure these bikes offer. Am really looking forward to see you do more cruiser reviews... There will be much less moaning about white vans!

@Roy_Camacho 6 лет назад

I was just informed by my Salesman that my dealer's Triumph Rep might want to talk to me because of swapping the tank. Apparently I'm the (or one of the) first to do it. Might want photos. That's pretty cool that he's interested. Who knows, you might be reviewing a bike next year called 2019 Triumph Bonneville BobberMaster. Haha!

@samuraipizzacat2171 6 лет назад

I like a lot of different motorcycles and they all have their place however I have to say that this bike just nails what I think motorcycles are about. It's such a classic beautiful look, is perfect for just cruising around and enjoying the ride yet handles really well and has great performance and personality. If I only had one motorcycle I would love it if it were this one.

@GrumpyGarry121 6 лет назад

I have a 2015 speedmaster with the old 865 engine, love taking it for a Sunday bimble, no rush steady away all the time in the world but when you drop that low seat into a corner it feels fantastic and torque all the way out of the bend....... love the cow horns too. Use my MT09 tracer for longer more necessary trips

@Kendoji1 6 лет назад

Great review. I would definitely buy one of these (currently ride a Tiger 800). The only thing I don’t like is the chain - really wish Triumph would do more bikes with shaft/belt drive, especially on bikes like this that won’t have a center stand.

@djrandizz 2 года назад

Hands down would buy one if it was belt or shaft. Seems like a no brained with the durability of this engine but I’m not an engineer so

@neilcole3406 6 лет назад

Yes I have to agree Triumph, for the money you want for this bike Heated grips really should be standard!

@laikatravels 6 лет назад

Nice bike, think I’ll check that one out in the flesh. Love your work TMF

@RC.Time-Crawlers 6 лет назад

Great video will have to say I believe that's one of the only bikes on the market at this time that has handlebars of that style and they are great. If someone's looking for comfort add a Touring seat windshield and that bike is ready for long rides without breaking the bank.

@chuckmaddison2924 5 лет назад

My son has just looked at one to buy so I came for a look. Agree well worth buying on style, performance, and a brilliant price.

@grahamtricker4103 6 лет назад

I rode this very bike a few weeks ago. Nice bike! You can have the mid controls from the Bobber fitted as well as the Bobber handlebars on the Spepedmaster. One thing I noticed being a Harley rider is you feel you are sitting right on top of the Speedmaster, whereas on a Harley you feel you sitting more in the bike, lower I guess. Both great, just different.

@mrtobiasreiper4714 4 года назад

Sportsbikes may have designed aerodynamic fairings but nothing can beat the looks of such a classic cruiser with all the chrome and metal tank, it feels like a motorcycle where one can admire the bike and also enjoy the ride.

@pitbull2170 6 лет назад

Great review TMF. Cruiser style was not something that ever floated my boat particularly, until that is I had to test ride my gf’s Kawasaki Vulcan S for her just after she’d passed her cat A. Now, whilst sat on my Tiger 800 on a ride out with her, I do get quite envious - although a strange seating position to get used to at first, I ended up loving it - such fun to ride. Speedmaster is definitely my choice in that genre, having perched myself on it at the Motorcycle Show - glad it seems to have your seal of approval!

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yes Andy it may have turned me I must say!

@dydrakinatticus 6 лет назад

@forrestculver7301 6 лет назад

@ignebulus 6 лет назад

I was blown away by how well this rides. It fools you, doesn't it? I didn't think it would corner like it does! And the paint job on that model is just amazing in person. I loved the easy Cruise Control, too. Thanks for the video, and I completely agree about choosing over Bobber...range, pillion, embodies what a cruiser could be IMHO.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Glad we concur!

@SlimRhyno 3 года назад

"Detritus." "Absconded." It's just so refreshing to hear a RU-vidr (especially a gearhead, as we Americans call it) having such etymological prowess. 🤔 Seriously, though, that is one of the many reasons why I have been a TMF subscriber for so long.

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

Thank you very much!

@danielmichael6447 6 лет назад

Really great reviews as usual! Can't wait for you to do more cruisers please! And p.s.I end up forgetting myself and nod at passing bikes when driving the car!

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Glad it’s not just me!

@virtualvortech 6 лет назад

@richardchidwick5439 6 лет назад

Not entirely convinced by the cruiser thing myself - but this looks really beautiful. I may be shifting my opinion in the near future, although out of the triumph stable it's the Thruxton that still has me beguiled. Remain envious of a man who gets to ride so many lovely new machines...

@janedavies3099 6 лет назад

@philbuglass4857 6 лет назад

Not a fan of 'feet-forward' riding position, but man that bike looks really cool...!

@wickedcoolname5756 6 лет назад

Phil Buglass I agree. I love the styling, in fact, the Speedmaster's looks is what first brought Triumph to my attention. But I've never been a fan of forward controls. But I'm pretty sure these controls can be moved back a bit. That might make it just about perfect.

@Tom-uc9jv 5 лет назад

There is a mid-control option that you can spec :)

@guywolff 6 лет назад

Having just come off of 17k miles on a big old forward foot controlled cruiser the problem, as you felt at 14:13 , is that you have very little chance to stand (or post) when a big pot hole is coming up .You have to rely completely on the shock absorbers .. After skiing most of my life I am very happy to be back on a bike where I am using my legs as part of the suspension system .. On the big & windy highways you will find that the cruisers above 1700 cc and 750 pounds are a different kind of beast that eat up thousands of miles in comfort (just dont drop one ) .. Try an Indian Springfield to get the "Cruiser fever " The Honda Gold Wing is another master - bike that is in a world all unto itself .. All the best , Guy

@Ceko 4 года назад

I’ve ridden a Harley v-rod for a couple of years now. Absolutely love the way it revs. Now I’ve sold my v-rod I’m looking for something that pulls the same way but it’s hard to find. Judging by this video, maybe this speedmaster is it!

@alexmettam4996 6 лет назад

I loved the look and idea of the speedmaster, after a test ride I was disappointed with the seating position which I expected to be more comfortable. First time riding a cruiser so maybe that explains it but the feet forward position and swept back bars put stress and pain through my hips and wrists. Such a shame as I think it's a brilliant bike. Love the reviews and news videos! Keep up the good work!

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Cheers Alex!

@carlton683 6 лет назад

Hi there. Been waiting for this review for ages as always so professional really enjoyed this one I noticed your arms seemed very straight I bet they were aching after this ride thanks Tony

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

No not at all Tony, I found the bike very comfortable....

@motogroover2789 6 лет назад

Totally agree with you Mr Flyer about the head nod, or wave. It seems to be the new younger generation of rider. I think they're not aware that it exists at all. I asked a few of them I rode with once, & they replied "I didn't know until you told me." It truly is a sense of brotherhood, a feeling of belonging to something great. And all it is, is a simple nod or wave. In my instance, being a BMW & Ducati owner, I guess they're probably just in shock that I nodded ! Cheers groover ;-)

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yeah I think I probably have the same issue!

@Fernando90054 2 года назад

I agree with you, heated grips should be standard on this naked bikes, yeah! 👍🏻 Nice video, as usual. Thank you. ✌️✌️

Not the sort of bike I would ride, but your videos always manage to make any bike you test appealing, so I might just have a test ride on one.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

This one surprised me - I’m a cruiser convert now.....

@TriumphRascal 6 лет назад

Nice bike and if there was decent support from the dealership and factory warrantee, I would recommend buying one...however, I've had a bad experience with my local dealerships and the factory. I'll keep my old Triumph America for now, but I shall never darken the doorstep of another Triumph franchise. Good review TMF.

@gdfggggg 3 года назад

After a 20yr break from biking I recently bought an old zzr1100. Two things I noticed: 1. Get decent tyres. The tyres that came with the bike were worn and the it felt terrible, I was actually nervous to ride it. Bought some new Metzeler roadtech’s and now it’s a joy. 2. The British roads are really bad. You don’t notice so much when in a car, but when on a bike you realise how badly maintained they are. My two bobs.

@craigu8734 6 лет назад

@patrickcollins4643 6 лет назад

Good looking bike and the usual high standard review. Cruisers don't really appeal but I like the look of this. I agree with you about nodding, some days nobody responds at all, and what is it with cruiser riders? They never seem to nod back.

Although not a cruiser rider myself, way too tall and a cramped riding position in my case, none the less I enjoyed this review.

@I_am_Thursday 6 лет назад

I was very, very tempted to get one of these as a summer day bike along with my 'beater' XSR as they offer such a different riding experience and I find most modern bikes tend to be so good that they are quite similar. I never quite got on with the riding position as I had hip ache after 40 mins. So I bought the new Fat Bob...Time will only tell!! ;-)

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

Yes the Speedmaster is a great bike - have you seen the recently new and improved ones?

@garyhope0103 3 года назад

@@TheMissendenFlyer yes, just looked and it's very tempting, but just spoke to my wife about how often she would be happy touring and now shes saying ' only when its warm' etc, so actually thnking of just keeping my tiger 800 for now......decisions decisions. But I'm now thinking the rebel is only going to be a standby option lol.

@chadmock5883 6 лет назад

I have the T120. I’ll have to look into those bars. Would love them on my T120. Got a chance to sit on one. Really liked it. But I like my Bonneville better. Maybe I can grab some ideas from this bike like the bars.

I find your reviews absolutely brilliant. I'm on the fence on a Triumph Bonneville t100 or a Royal Enfield classic 500 at the moment...drastically different machines, of course.

I’ve been on a very similar fence for some time!

@jeffreyhurst9552 6 лет назад

Another excellent video. Thank you. I really like the Bobber but think I might get frustrated with it’s limitations. The small tank, single seat, no place to carry anything. It looks like it should come with a backpack. Saying that, I still love it. I went to my Triumph dealer for a look at the Speedmaster and was underwhelmed. Some bikes you walk up and say, “Hello Nurse!”. I didn’t feel that with the Speedmaster. I will revisit the dealer and try for a demo ride. Perhaps she can still bewitch me. Maybe I’m just not cruiser material.

Ysterday I rode a Triumph Tiger 1200 XcA and 800 XcA, great engines, comfy, stable, power delivery excellent. However a lot of engine heat which is not so nice. I did wear summer mesh gear. The BMW K1600GTL no heat on legs at all :-) different beast I know but will try the 2018 GSA and K1600B soon. Triumph does make very nice bikes, but I'm still leaning towards BMW.

Sometime when you have a few minutes you should watch Jay Leno's take on this bike. He absolutely loved the fact that he could just enjoy a relaxed ride instead of feeling the need to push it all of the time. I'd also suggest that a Dart flyscreen or the "Marlin" might work well on this.

I'd never heard of a Triumph Bomber...... Once you opened the helmet for the walkaround I heard "Bobber" correctly.. 8^)==

@geoffhalsey2184 6 лет назад

I wonder why Triumph don't have engine characteristics as a user option? I love to ride bikes with loads of torque, but others may prefer to see a Bonneville or Thruxton engine slotted in. So why not give them the choice? Changing fork seals is a regular maintenance chore so it's nice to see the fork gaiters fitted as standard. Acknowledging other bikers is alive and well in France. I've just come back from there and even had a couple of Harley riders on bikes spec out as US police motorcycles turn on sirens and gave me a wave. Nice bike, great review as ever.

@darlingimscared 6 лет назад

Geoff Halsey even a free choice of mapping would suffice since they're mostly the same engine, imagine how many more customers they'd pull

@geoffhalsey2184 6 лет назад

Daniel Symes: My thoughts exactly.

@hudsonrilke 6 лет назад

Surprisingly nice bike. Really looks like something from the 60s. Be interested what you think to a Harley. I’d say 9 bikes out of 10 around here are Harleys. Not my thing but really seem suited to the roads here. 2 things would possibly stop me wanting this! Small tank and the cost.

I like the Speedmaster, but I love the Thunderbird. My prayers have been answered by the way, Flyer. As well as many others. Honda is going to release a 2019 CRF450L. You'll have to review that bike this Autumn. Review the Thunderbird!

Yes, yes and yes!

@gabor5079 6 лет назад

that CRF450L Is just an enduro with a street light. It has nothing to do with the dual sport equivalent of 250l. That is not your dream bike. Im sorry to announce this. It coused a great pain for me when I realised this.

The 450l makes less power than the enduro version,and has longer service intervals,its different internally.

@Z17xMachine 6 лет назад

Gabor, you make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Nobody else makes a bike like that in the 450 class. 250's are for me, too little and nowhere near as fast or fun. The bigger dual sport bikes are ridiculously cumbersome in tight trails. Somebody hasn't done their homework. You need to go study what that bike is and what it's going to mean for all the other Japanese manufacturers. 10's of thousands of people are very excited for the bike. Nothing you conjur up in the comments is going to change that.

Whatever guys. I warned you.

Custom paint as standard looks beautiful

What I like about your review is that the speed is in MPH instead of KPH. I don’t have to covert the speed.

Jay Leno liked and enjoyed this motorcycle as well. I'm impressed that it has mono-shock rear suspension with a proper rear fender. I look at Speed & Street Triples wishing they had a a source for a rear fender too. Mr. Leno's video: 2018 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster - Jay Leno's Garage

Yeah saw that one - big fan of JLG!

I imagine it would be difficult to fit bar-end mirrors on those bars. Other than that it looks beautiful. I'm pretty sure it can be fitted with mid controls like the ones on the Bobber. I think I'd really like this bike minus the forward controls. I also like the simple gauge. Those fancy LCD screens are immpessive but I don't want too many distractions when I'm riding.

Very nice. Whilst I don’t want to wish away my 7 week holiday to your fabulous country + Europe, I am missing my bikes! Five days till I follow your lead Mr Flyer. Will it be riding on the 750 for a cruise or a long loping stretch on the GS? First world problem I know. Great vid sir.

I'm 26 passed and first big bike got a moto guzzi v9 (still awaiting you're thoughts on the guzzies) and I went on one of these very long bikes I found and seemed like a better choice but I had to be different hahah

A nice looking bike. I've just had a look the specifications online and the red one looks very cool indeed. Also noticed that it has spoked wheels but it doesn't say if the tyres are tubless or not in the specifications.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

I think they are tubed on the spoked models...

Id have this rather than the bobber.. and is it just me who thinks it would look better as a single seat or a one piece seat ? Does look like someone's just velcroed a small pillow on the back ?? Enjoyed your review as usual. Cheers
